Xiamen University was founded in 1921 by Mr. Tan Kah Kee, a renowned patriotic overseas Chinese leader, marking the first university established by overseas Chinese in modern Chinese educational history. For a century, the university has upheld its founder's vision, cultivating a distinguished ethos of "patriotism, revolution, self-improvement, and science." With its distinctive educational approach, it has nurtured generations of outstanding talents, making significant contributions to national prosperity, public welfare, and the global dissemination of Chinese culture. The Siming campus is the main campus of Xiamen University, located in Siming District, Xiamen, at the southern tip of Xiamen Island. Nestled between mountains and sea, it is renowned as the "garden university by the sea." The campus features numerous landmark buildings and comprehensive teaching and living facilities, with the Jiageng Building Complex (also known as the Songen Building Complex) standing as its iconic cross-century architectural masterpiece. Completed in 2001 to commemorate the university's 80th anniversary, this complex consists of five buildings: Songen Tower (the main building), Baoxin Liying Building, Chengfeng Building, Zuying Building, and Zhongmingxuan Building. Designed with a symmetrical "one-main-four-auxiliary" layout, the 21-story Songen Tower serves primarily as the administrative center, while the other four six-story buildings are dedicated to public teaching and research. The architectural style inherits and evolves the distinctive "Jiageng Style," featuring red-tiled sloping roofs that harmonize with the campus's historic structures. This fusion of Chinese and Western elements creates a modern complex with contemporary character, forming the landmark core that dominates the campus landscape.Xiamen · 60.9 km from Zhangpu

Dongshan Island

Dongshan island is located in the south of Zhangzhou, Fujian. It is a trendy island with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. The scene in the movie "The Left Ear" where the little girl cries by the sea was filmed at Nanmen bay on the island. Due to the popularity of the movie, Nanmen bay has become one of the top attractions for tourism on Dongshan island. In addition, other attractions here each have their own unique features. The iconic wind-eroded rock is a must-visit photo spot on Dongshan Island. It is said that this rock sways with just a breeze, appearing as if it might fall at any moment, which is truly fascinating. Not far from the wind-eroded rock lies the widows' village, which is actually a museum. When the army retreated from Dongshan Island, they took away the young men, leaving the women in the village as "widows." The museum showcases the entire event, with historical photos and reliefs that vividly recreate the history of that time. When visiting Dongshan Island, you can stay for a day or two to savor fresh local seafood, experience the joy of fishing firsthand, then bask in the sun on the fine sandy beaches. Enjoy playing in the water and riding the waves with the sea breeze, making the most of your coastal getaway.Dongshan County · 60.1 km from Zhangpu

Nanputuo Temple

4.6/5
5.4k reviews
Nanputuo Temple is adjacent to Xiamen University and backed by Wulao Peak. As a millennium-old monastery with thriving incense in southern Fujian, many travelers arrange to visit both sites on the same day. The temple was first built in the late Tang Dynasty, underwent several rises and declines, and was rebuilt by Marquis Jinghai Shi Lang during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty. It enshrines Guanyin Bodhisattva and is located south of Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, hence the name "Nanputuo Temple." On one side of the temple stands the Southern Fujian Buddhist College, founded in 1925, which is one of China's modern Buddhist institutions with a long educational history. The temple's east and west mountain gates stand close to each other. Entering through them, visitors first encounter the liberation pond and lotus pond, where turtles bask on rocks and stone pagodas stand by the water. The main halls ascend along the central axis with the mountain's slope, arranged in sequence as the heavenly king hall, main hall of the great hero, great compassion hall, and scripture repository: the heavenly king hall enshrines a perpetually smiling Maitreya at its center, with Skanda standing behind holding his vajra staff; the main hall of the great hero houses the buddhas of the three periods, while the three western saints stand behind it; the great compassion hall, built on a high stone platform, is an octagonal wooden pavilion with triple flying eaves, containing four guanyin statues facing cardinal directions—three being 48-armed guanyin exquisitely crafted; the scripture repository safeguards Buddhist artifacts including the blood-written Lotus Sutra from the Wanli era and a white porcelain guanyin by renowned Ming dynasty ceramic artist He Chaozong. Bell and drum towers flank the courtyard, while the arhat hall displays eighteen arhats arranged on either side. The temple grounds preserve numerous cliff inscriptions by notable figures, with the massive carved "Buddha" character by monk Zhenhui from the Qing dynasty on the rear cliff being particularly striking—often drawing travelers to pause for photos. For mountain hiking, ascend the stone steps behind the temple to Wulao Peak, where "Five elders piercing the clouds" ranks among Xiamen's eight great views as designated in the Qing dynasty, offering summit vistas over Xiamen University and seascapes. Alternatively, touring the temple's main halls requires little time if skipping the climb. For vegetarian meals, you can visit the temple's vegetarian restaurant. Haihui Lou and Puzhao Lou are both garden-style dining buildings. Nanputuo vegetarian cuisine is highly renowned in Xiamen. One signature dish, "Half-moon sinking in the river," features mushrooms and gluten in a soup with a "half-moon" submerged in the broth. It earned this elegant name in the 1960s after being tasted by Guo Moruo. Before leaving, consider taking some Nanputuo vegetarian cakes, available in both sweet and savory flavors. Fillings like mung bean, coconut, and pumpkin are particularly popular, making them famous souvenirs from Xiamen.Xiamen · 60.8 km from Zhangpu

Nanmen Bay

4.7/5

Nanmen Bay has a vast bay, gentle sandy beaches, and shaded trees, which are very characteristic of the coastal scenery of the southern country. The fishing boats moored at sea here are in harmony with the people fishing in the sea. The blue sky and the sea meet in the distance. The beautiful scenery has attracted the filming of the movie "Left Ear" and the variety show "We Are Coming". Nanmen Bay in the morning is a good place to watch the sunrise, with the blue sea on one side and characteristic ancient villages on the other. When the sun slowly rises from the sea level, the red clouds dye the sea red, and the scene is very spectacular. In Nanmen Bay at night, the villages are brightly lit, and the night sky is dotted with flickering lights. You can touch crabs and look for shells under the rocks, or have a picnic and barbecue to experience the joy of life on the island.Dongshan County · 43.8 km from Zhangpu

The most distinctive feature of Liuao Peninsula is the abstract gallery: the scattered granite eggs are lifelike, and the magical power of nature has carved the rocks into various shapes and lifelike shapes. Walking into the "abstract gallery", you will see a series of magical and beautiful rock sculptures standing on the seashore, which makes people marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature.

Walking around Furong Lake after entering the school gate is a pleasant experience. The red brick and green tile buildings in the Jiarong style are pleasing to the eye, and the large trees along the road provide shade, keeping you cool and dry. I didn't feel tired even after strolling around for half a day. The overall atmosphere is quiet and perfect for leisurely exploration.

There are two nice scenic spots in Liuao, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, one is Emerald Bay and the other is Liuao Ancient City. There are road signs to Liuao Ancient City. The ancient city is open to the public for free. It is worth a visit if you have time.

There weren't many people at Nanputuo Temple on the weekend, and the free incense at the entrance was a thoughtful touch. The temple buildings were simple and clean, and climbing the steps offered views of Xiamen University and the sea. The path was shaded by trees, providing coolness from the sun. I bought some vegetarian pastries, which were light and not greasy. Overall, it was a relaxing and comfortable experience.

Pingtan Fairy Well (East China Sea Wonderland) is truly a masterpiece of nature! Millions of waves eroded it, forming a giant natural vertical well over forty meters deep, with an opening at the bottom leading directly to the sea. At high tide, giant waves crash into the well, creating a thunderous roar—the famous "Fairy Well Roaring Waves"—a truly awe-inspiring sight. The scenic area also features Fairy Valley, where black rock walls contrast beautifully with the blue sea, creating a stunning atmosphere perfect for photos. The area remains relatively uncommercialized, preserving its pristine coastal scenery. The trails are easy to walk, making it a must-visit in Pingtan!

Nanmen Bay, a filming location for the movie "The Left Ear," boasts a colorful fishing village that contrasts beautifully with the azure bay, earning it the nickname "Fujian's Santorini." Online descriptions suggest experiencing authentic fishing village life in the morning, cycling along the embankment to chase the sunset in the evening, and possibly witnessing the "blue tears" phenomenon on the eve of the Lunar New Year.
